Yes it is cracked but it is whole and it is a rare bottle so I am happy with it until a better version comes along. [attachment=P1140097 (Medium).JPG] [attachment=P1140098 (Medium).JPG] [attachment=P1140099 (Medium).JPG]

I have only seen pics of the Daffys Elixer and have never run across any in my bottle collecting travels, not even a broken one. Very awesome bottle that someday I would like to find and own. That's a great collection of very old thin lips.

They do Sharon,some have the diagonal mold pontil,others have the deep blow pipe mark (Dyott bottles have this type often and others have the sand and the solid rod pontils. Thanks Kevin I have been looking for one for a long time. [attachment=P1140102 (Medium).JPG] [attachment=P1140104 (Medium).JPG] [attachment=P1140106 (Medium).JPG]
